Server ping has to be below 100 to get pregnant on official. Anything above that you will just burn through pheromones without luck.

First time finding this guy in the swamp the island along with a titanosaur, i thought i was lucky to find 2 rare creature in one place and that helicopter bug was max level,149 i guess.. i was w my max level 298 argy and i didnt know how to tame that bug so i quick search in dex and it said needed to kill it first, well guess what, i got strip naked along with my argy by that damn max lvl bastard, i didnt know he got a few special attack that can make me hard AF😭 so for anyone seeing this natural helicopter,research their tactic first or u will lose all ur precious friend along with ursef

Tranq it and you can do damage to it and check with a magnifying glass to see if it’s below 10% then when it wakes up use the pheromones and watch the magic

It can also pick up a spino.

Yes this creature is only on the island and lost island

Best strategy from what I’ve found

1 first scout the swamp with a spyglass from the back of an argy. This will allow you to see the gender without getting too close.

2) If the bug is a male, kill it and harvest pheromones. If female make a note of location for later. For killing the male use beelzebufo or Megatherium.

3) feed pheromones to a tame with high drag weight. My personal recommendation is Paraceratherium as they are very common and fairly easy to replace. Also the platform saddle plus mini gun turret makes it simple to get a female to ten health

4) track down female and get it to 10% health. If you find yourself with multiple pheromones and multiple sacrifices you can get multiple tames implanted with eggs in one fell swoop.

5) meet creatures very bizarre food demands until baby makes its big entrance and ta da. You now have a giant incectoid assault chopper.

Carchas can incubate as well - have one player hit the Female Rhynio until she's below 10% health. During this, you ride the Carcha and feed it the Male Rhynio pheromone. When the Female is below 10% health it will automatically disengage from your friend (I assume if close enough) and start hitting the sacrifice tame. It'll have a really noticeable red cloud around the tame when the Female was successful, and then she'll fly off.

The incubation time will begin. You want a dino with a large health pool because it will start to go down as the incubation continues, and when the baby Rhynio hatches it will kill that tame. If the sacrifice tame dies before incubation is complete or if you cryo it, the incubation will terminate and progress will be lost.

I suggest having a 'box' to keep the tame sacrifice in while it incubates, because it takes some time and you want to keep the sacrifice tame safe and alive. I just did stone fence supports and then large stone walls to surround the tame. You can then cryo the baby Rhynio AFTER it hatches (explodes) from the sacrifice tame, bring it back to base, and raise it in safety.

Good luck!

On mobile they are NOT rare

if you seen one there is always one more waiting to kill you

you can't outrun it, if it agro on you kill it or leave your mount or lure it to nearby large dino

avoid it unless you are planning to tame it

I lost 2 T. rex, 5 raptors, 1 Stego, 1 trike, and 2 pt to these things… I just want to know how to kill this buggers 😢

They don’t have 900 base health, they have 1400 base health

Keep an eye on the host's food as it will drop faster tjan it can eat

Big mosquito more dangerous and another use for resin very good flyer not gonna lie tame if you can

Got swormed in the swamp ,RIP level 49

Can find Asc Saddle BP in Swamp Cave

Now that they've come out I've tested them a few times to try and see how they're tamed.

You wanna grab a tame (I used gigas), preferably with good stats and/or one you don't mind losing - and bring it to wherever they spawn on the map you're using. You should go off and kill a Rhynio (any gender) on your own first, or with said tame so that you can harvest a pheromone from its corpse. Once you have that pheromone, feed it to the tame and then go and find another Rhynio (I believe only females can infest your tames, correct me if I'm wrong!) And aggro it to your tame while the pheromone is affecting it. Keep your tame on passive and let the Rhynio do it's thing! You'll have to shoot the Rhynio while it attacks your Dino, and get it below and certain threshold of health. It'll then perform an animation as if it is about to spit resin, but will do some sort of dive/corkscrew into the tame and voila! Your tame is now infested. Your tame will receive strange cravings while it incubates the baby Rhynio, and they're strange. It can be stuff like element it wants, ranging from consumables like battle tartare to even ammonite bile and achatina paste, all kinds strange things. Once the incubation timer goes down, your tame will die and out will hatch a juvy Rhynio! They won't aggro onto you when you hatch them (at least not in my experience) so super easy to just run up and claim them!

You also can't breed them, I don't think. Doesn't let me anyway, which isn't fun.

The closer the swamp is to the redwoods the more rhynio spawns, and their spawn rate got increased in ultimate mobile edition so they got more dangerous

RIDING ON A FROG WON'T AGGRO EVEN IF T ATTACKS YOU BY MISTAKE.

Quick question, do yall know if I can avoid giving creatures cravings and avoid imprints. I want to tame a trike for this creature. But I don’t know if I can get it without the imprints and expensive cravings. Just for a starter rhynio. And will the rhynio be alive and adult. I don’t need it op I just can’t find an argy or a quetz to tame and all the pts on my single player are max level 30.

You can always find at least a couple of these F*****s in lots of swamps. Once it agros on your flyer, you’re dead. Just to know, stay very far away from them.

I hereby acknowledge that these are worse than a gigantic in my own opinion. I lost 3 pts, a spino, a argy, and a anky.... all at once.... to a single one..... 0/10 would randomly encounter again.
